I agree. He is one of the best singers and songwriters around. PLUS he is quite knowledgeable about the Maritime Tradition and Folk Songs about the Maritime region.

He has gone through the Helen Creighton material at the Nova Scotia Archives many times, in particular looking for sea songs at the behest of the Helen Creighton Society. We're planning a special 2 CD set of Sea Songs which hopefully will be available next year (2003). It was thanks to Dan that we got a list complete with tape numbers and locations of the songs along with the names of the songs and singers.

This original source material is what will make up the tracks on the Sea Songs Project CD.
